    You ask the question and Wilder supporters will say "yes" these same supporters will call Povetkin "average and made for Wilder", Joshua a "hype job" and Fury "a chinny fraud" :lol:


    Wilder would need to do far more than that to be considered an ALL TIME GREAT.

    If he wins all 3, he is the GOAT :smoke

    Joshua & Fury are not your average "ATG" Heavyweights, Mighty Giants at 6'06" + that know how to box

    Frazier @29
    Norton @31
    Spinks @36
    Holmes @38
    Berbick @39

    Ali lost those 5 fights & is considered by many as the GOAT, so why make things impossible for future fighters :huh

    Wlad had a great run, but I honestly think he needs to hang it up. He struggled with Jennings also, whose stock plummeted after getting starched by Ortiz.

    He had no idea what to do with Fury the first time, don't see why it would be any different this time.

    Joshua is all that's needed, since he'll go down as the baddest hw ever

    Ok, champ at 20, peaked then fell flat on his face, ass and quit too many times. Ath, NOPE.

    Atg name, yes. But for outside the ring accomplishments, not inside, nut even close

    No. It is too early to tell. It is silly to call somebody an all-time great based on victories against a group as a whole whose legacies are yet to shake out.
